Dave, I'm sorry for your loss. That looks like a pretty neat setup.

As asked in the OP's post, I'd suggest buying the FN Patrol Carbine above. What I would DO is buy the FN 16" barrel with a mid length gas system, a BCM upper, extended latch charging handle, NiB coated BCG, add the handguard of your choosing (I'm digging the Aero Precision Atlas S-One these...

I wish you a full and fast recovery. We all make mistakes, glad you're still with us. Thank you for having the courage to share this experience, it may well help someone else.

I would (and did) get the Savage MkII for an accurate target shooter, and it is. I also have a 10/22 and they are a lot of fun and very customizable. I suggest putting a CMMG 22 conversion kit in a cheap AR, I used a PSA freedom series. That thing is more fun than it has any right to be...

Looks nice 270OKIE!

@80Goat, That's a fine looking pistol, sir! ETA I'm a huge fan of the XDm Elite 3.8" Fits my hand like a glove.

I built a 6.8 SPC II upper a few years ago, it's reliable, very accurate and I enjoy shooting it. That being said, I also have at least one AR in 5.56 and an AR 10 so it really doesn't fill a "need". I think a lightweight 308 build may be a better option, especially logistically. Whenever I...

Bfh_auto- Sorry to hear about your injury. I wish you a speedy recovery. Several years ago when I was just a little younger than you I had a nasty 4 wheeler wreck that wrecked my right hand pretty bad. It smashed my middle finger sideways and almost completely amputated my index finger. The...

If you'll permit an outside entry, I'm going through this now with a Mossberg 500 I picked up recently. Older shotgun, owner passed. Wood stock was cracked through mounting hole. Pulled a barrel from a Maverick 88 I'd taken in trade years ago. I have the tool to correctly dress the barrel...

Working on my 47th trip around the sun, I feel your pain gentlemen. I've taken to painting the front sight posts of my handguns with day glow orange nail polish. Long guns get a green dot at least, usually a scope if any kind of distance is involved. I also like the fiber optic sights for...

Looks good!

I would go with the Speer 125gn TNT. I did this with a 16.5" barrel at about 60 yards. With your barrel length, I would suggest lighter bullet weights. This was a white tail deer. ETA this was a handload using IMR 4227

Yep, me too. IMHO, a G22 or 23 may be the Chevy 350 of pistols. Inexpensive to pick up, plenty usable as is, easy and cheap to modify...etc. With one frame a man can shoot .40, 357sig, and 9mm. What's not to love? Fwiw, I also shoot/dabble in 10mm reloading, so I get double the use out of...

It fits better, being a gen 4 it has the ability to modify the grip size. The EZ had to be sent back to the factory for a recall. I also had to adjust the sights on it as they were misaligned from the factory. It shot fine and to point of aim after adjusting the sights, and the slide is...

Good on you for being patient. Over the years, we have tried the EZ in 9mm and the LCR. Both were solid meh guns. They were traded for a Springfield Ronin EMP that my wife loves. She took her LTC class with a Glock 19 that she recently repo'd from me when we took a defensive carbine class...

Great work sir, congratulations! Thank you for your work helping veterans. Those look like some fine rifles.:thumbup:

Wait, you mean it doesn't take all day and multiple "inspections" to have a clean BCG? ;) NiB coating is a spec part in my builds now

Pravda's standards aren't that high... Blind loyalty to the Party is the only requirement.

It really depends on your training and practice. The Mrs. and I took a defensive carbine course earlier this year that had a portion devoted to lowering the carbine while simultaneously raising a pistol, all while engaging targets. Arguments could be made as to whether this will ever be...
